Friday, April Goth, 1887, is endeared tc
his heart as precious and happy recol
lection. The occasion of this was pre-
sentation of the Germania boys to their
esteemed friend and whilom boss, Mr.
Austin, who has recently been removed
from the position, place he has held
with the best satisfaction to the company
and men for nearly five years past. Fri.
day evening, as the day shift quit work
they gathered in body and went to the
office to meet Mr.. Austin, arriving at
which, Mr.. John Williams stepped up tc
Mr.. A. and in few very appropriate
words presented that gentleman with a
token of esteem from the employees,
consisting of gold watch, chain, and
locket. On one side locket were en-
graved these words: Germania boys
to T. s. Austin, April3 9th, 1887" and on
the other side was set cluster of nine
bright, beautiful diamonds. A picture
OF the works is yet to be put inside the
locket.
Mr.. Austin, though taken by surprise,
addressed the boys in few we'll chosen
remarks, thanking them for their tangi-
BILE token of esteem and their evident
warmth of feeling toward him; assuring
them that whether fate or fortune
frowned or smiled upon him, or where
ever chance or destiny cast his lot, he
would ever hold dear to his heart the
Germania boys, and when the dim distant
future, caught upon the wings OF time, is
the present for US all, that chain and
locket would be fond reminder of the
days the boys at the Germania, and, like
golden links of love, bind his heart to
theirs in friendship and fraternity.
Everybody then made a bee line for
Haines' Social Hall, when the following
impromptu programme, consisting OF
songs and speeches was carried out with
credit to each and all who took part:

the crowd dispersed, each man going his
way regretting the loss of boss and the
departure of a friend, so well known and
so much loved
